Hello,
I'm using the circuit shown in the figure to produce a +/- 15 V supply for powering some op amps. I tested this circuit using a center tapped transformer without any load connected to it. The circuit seems to draw too much current. A 6 A fuse blew, which definitely shouldn't be happening. I implemented this circuit in breadboard and PCB, but the results stayed the same. However, my PSpice simulation says I should be getting a +/- 15 V output.
Narrowing it down, I am getting the +15 V section (when I tried a partial implementation) but the -15 V section seems to be the source of the problem. What am I doing wrong?
